One of Sydney’s largest councils joins ban on ‘pervert’ glasses at local swimming pools
- One of Sydney’s largest councils has joined the City of Brisbane and the City of Yarra to issue a ban on AI smart glasses at public pools as concerns mount over the potential for predators to exploit the new technology.
- On Tuesday evening, Canterbury-Bankstown voted overwhelmingly in favour of banning the tech at its pools, with its mayor, Bilal El-Hayek, describing them as “pervert glasses”.
- Since their release, there have been reports of women being filmed without their consent and their interactions with a glasses-wearing influencer posted on social media.
